Default Yamaha G1A3 Turns over won't start

Yamaha G1A3 will turn over in forward and reverse but will not start in forward.
The cart runs fine in reverse. We have checked continuity on the wires from the large connector off the ignition switch. We have a replacement coming for the ignition switch that was replaced a few weeks ago. Everything worked at that time, so we don't think the switch was defective. I don't know how to check the switch. Also, the pedal switch seems to be fine.
If this new ignition switch doesn't fix the problem, I'm not sure what I should check next?

Please help

Thank You

keep us posted, seems like mine did that and it was the switch. I have replaced a couple of the cheap amazon switches. if mine acts weird i can always put my old original switch back on for testing. it works, it just has no key. does not really need one a key, just out anything in it and it turns lol.

Turns out it was the ignition switch. The one we purchased recently was defective.

Glad you figured it out, those amazon switches are not very reliable, especially if they get moisture in them. They seem to work great at first. The last one i got, i wrapped extra electrical tape to try to prevent it from getting moisture in it.

Sometimes the Chinese stuff is ok. This was a POS. We should have known ...... looking at the sloppy soldering.

To be honest, as cheap as they are and all the weird symptoms / problems it can cause, might be good to keep a known good one on hand at all times just to trouble shoot. I still have my oldest and i still use it for troubleshooting.
